Meet Gulab Rai, unsung hero in fight against coronavirus

Gulab Rai, an unsung hero, chose duty over personal safety in the battle against coronavirus menace. He works in a cloth factory and stitches 15-20 medical suits per day that are worn by doctors and patients in the hospitals.

Ghaziabad (Uttar Pradesh): Over the past few months, people's energy, emotion and attention have been increasingly focused on the novel coronavirus outbreak. We have been too busy dealing with where the next infection will emerge, deaths connected to the virus, panic buying, news, the prospect of a lockdown and social distancing.

Amid these, we can't ignore the contributions of those 'unsung heroes' who are doing their bit to combat the corona menace.

Gulab Rai stitches medical suit

One such hero is Gulab Rai, who works in a cloth factory in Uttar Pradesh's Ghaziabad district.

Rai, a resident of Bihar, is unable to walk properly but definitely has a strong determination. Instead of staying at home, this man chose to work in the factory and stitch full-body medical suit.

These days such medical suits are much in demand and Rai stitches 15-20 suits each day.

Rai stated that country is in dire need of medical equipment at this point of time so he decided not to go back to his native place and instead chose to stay at work.

It is to be noted that at present, such medical suits are much in demand as those are worn by the doctors and patients who come to the hospitals.

These medical suits are disposable and get disposed-off after the first use.

At this tough time, which the whole world is going through, people like Gulab Rai is really a source of inspiration for the society.
